Hello everyone! I'm sorry this chapter is short! the weather is still boiling her in Ireland! I have somehow avoided getting sunburnt! maybe cause I stay in the shade reading... But I really wanted to update! I promise the next chapter will be long! This chapter picks up from the last chapter!

xXJustaWriterxX: he got his karma I guess... nope! I went onto a site called 'The shadowhunters wiki' I read he would have had green eyes if not for the experiment! so I presumed that they stayed green till he lost all of his humanity! the site is very helpful for this story. it tell you information you might have missed in the books!

Huntress3419: Thank you! I'll update as often as I can!

Dish nation: Are you irish? It's just 'Dish' is how some irish people pronounce this...i wonder how Irish people don't get slagged (For those of you that dont understand, Slaged means making fun of) more to be honest. I'm jealous of people living in other countries. at least their weather makes sense! It actually snowed in march! It's suppose to get colder in a few days, so I'll get to update again soon hopefully! Thank you! i really appreciate that!

As they walked through the forest to the city, Valentine was thinking about his children. He watched as they joked around. It was rare and precious to see Jonathan laugh. They way his eyes lit up.

He hoped that the ceremony for Clarissa and Jonathan would be a success.

What would he do if he failed Jonathan?

"What are you two laughing about?" he asked his children smirking at their innocent faces.

"I think pink hair would suit Jonathan. Don't you agree father?" said Clarissa bursting into fits of laughter.

Valentine chuckled at her antics. She hated the color pink, but her brother hated it even more.

"I think if Jonathan were to wake up to pink hair, he would know the culprit and would show no mercy in revenge."

"Glad to know you have my back, father" said Jonathan, frowning at the mundane slang.

"Have you both decided on your appearance?"

"Yeah!" said Clarissa brightly.

"Sort of" said Jonathan sighed.

"Do we have to have the same features?" asked Clarissa.

"I think it would be wise" said Valentine.

They walked the rest of the way making small talk about training and studying.

"Ms Kingsmill said you are very talented with the seraph blade." Said valentine proud of his daughter.

"It's not much different from my knives. I'm starting with long seraph blade tomorrow!" she said smirking.

"Really? It's only been what? A week?" he asked shocked. It took weeks, if not months to fully understand how to use the blade.

"Yeah! She said that I must be practicing in private, since I can wield the blade easily!"

"Impressive" said Jonathan in awe. He had been quick to learn how to use the blade as well, but not as fast as Clarissa apparently.

"Which do you prefer? Knives or seraph blade?" asked Valentine.

"Seraph blade. Does more damage." She said with a dangerous glint in her eye.

"Your just destructive aren't you?" asked Jonathan laughing at his sister's glare.

"It must be the family gene" she said smirking.

They walked the rest of the way in silence, after their father signaled them to be quiet. Even though they were walking on twigs and other elements of the forest floor, they barely made a sound.

Valentine saw an opening. He remembered when he was with Jocelyn, they had walked in the forest surrounding Fairchild manor many times. He loved the tranquility of the forest. Jocelyn looked so free and happy in the forest. He could just imagine her now, dancing around the trees as though teasing him to join.

"Wow" said his children in unison. They broke him away from his thoughts as the view of Alicante came into sight. From where they were on a hill, it was an amazing sight. The sun was shining on the city, making it look heavenly. The glass towers were visible from the opening in the forest.

Valentine looked at his watch. It was 11 o'clock. So they should be leaving at 1:30, 2 o'clock tops.

"I think now is a good place to use your rune Clarissa." Valentine said to his daughter. He refused to show how nervous he was. He took out his stele and handed it to her.

She immediately placed the stele to her wrist, drawing what looked like a fancy A and had a ring around it. As soon as the rune was complete, Clarissa looked completely different.

Instead of being a pale, fiery red-head with green eyes, she now had an olive skin tone, light brown hair and blue eyes. She looked at their shocked faces and smirked.

"Amazing, aren't I?" she smirked.

"Yes, now mark us! I want to go into the city!" said Jonathan impatiently.

Clarissa rolled her eyes, but did as she was told.

After a few seconds of painful marking, the family looked completely different.

Valentine had tanned skin, short dark brown, nearly black hair and green eyes like Clarissa's. Jonathan had the same skin tone as Clarissa, short black hair and green eyes.

"Well done Clarissa, or should I say Seraphina?"

"That's going to be weird."

"Better get used to it now, or else we'll blow our cover." Said Jonathan, bouncing up and down excitedly.

"Alright. Let's get going. And remember, stick with me no matter what." said Valentine, more nervous than ever.

They then left the safety of the trees and walked into view. they made their way down the hill and entered the city.
